Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the expressions into the equation

Given \(m\angle C + m\angle A=88^{\circ}\), and \(m\angle C = 5x + 3^{\circ}\), \(m\angle A=15x + 5^{\circ}\).
Substitute into the equation: \((5x + 3)+(15x + 5)=88\).

Step2: Simplify the left - hand side of the equation

Combine like terms: \(5x+15x + 3 + 5=88\), which is \(20x+8 = 88\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(8\) from both sides: \(20x=88 - 8\), so \(20x=80\).
Divide both sides by \(20\): \(x=\frac{80}{20}=4\).

Step4: Find \(m\angle A\)

Substitute \(x = 4\) into \(m\angle A=15x + 5\).
\(m\angle A=15\times4+5=60 + 5=65^{\circ}\), so the code for \(m\angle A\) is \(I\).

Step5: Find \(m\angle C\)

Substitute \(x = 4\) into \(m\angle C=5x + 3\).
\(m\angle C=5\times4+3=20 + 3=23^{\circ}\), so the code for \(m\angle C\) is \(E\).

Step6: Find \(m\angle B\)

Since the sum of angles around a point is \(360^{\circ}\), assume the four - angle sum (if it's a four - angle figure formed by intersecting lines, adjacent angles are supplementary in some cases, but if we assume it's a triangle - like (but not exactly, but using the given sum \(m\angle C + m\angle A = 88^{\circ}\) and if we assume the other two angles \(m\angle B\) and the fourth angle (not labeled) are related in a way that for a non - standard figure, if we consider the sum of \(m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C+\text{fourth angle}\), but if we assume it's a two - angle sum given and the other two angles are related as \(m\angle B=180-(m\angle A + m\angle C)\) (if it's a linear pair situation). \(m\angle A + m\angle C=88^{\circ}\), then \(m\angle B = 180-88=92^{\circ}\) (not in the options, but if we consider a wrong assumption, if it's a triangle (sum \(180^{\circ}\)) and only three angles \(m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C = 180\)), \(m\angle B=180-(65 + 23)=92\) (wrong). But if we use the value of \(x = 4\) (from \(H\) code) to re - check the first equation: \((5\times4+3)+(15\times4 + 5)=23 + 65=88\). And if we assume the code for \(x\) is \(H\) (since \(x = 4\)).
